My Dying Bride have returned with one of the best sounding albums of their career, accompanied by one of the most accomplished vocal performances. The guitar-driven melodies, too, are excellent and remind me of The Angel and the Dark River. If there is a problem with the album, though, it's that everything is just a little too similar in tone and tempo, and it takes more than a few listens for individual songs and elements to start clicking. Despite this, The Ghost of Orion is My Dying Bride's best sounding album from a production standpoint, featuring some of Aaron's most accomplished vocals, and guitar melodies that harken back to the days of The Angel and the Dark River, and it is a welcome addition to the My Dying Bride discography.
